Customer Reviews

Great book
I received the book Foundations of Marketing in good timing and the condition was as stated in the ad. I would buy books from them again.

Good service
The book is in excellent condition. My only complaint is that it is an instructor's copy that prevents me from selling it back to any local bookstores...apparently someone cannot read b/c it says in big, obvious lettering "DO NOT SALE" all over the front and back cover. But again, the book is in great condition and was delivered promptly.

High Quality
The book is very easy to read and comes with a lot of great examples from the real world.
